1948 Collection

The 1948 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XIV Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in London, England from July 29 to August 14. The games were the first to be held in twelve years since 1936 due to World War II. This was also the first time that the Olympic Games had been held in a different country than their birthplace of Greece. A total of 4,104 athletes representing 59 nations participated in 136 events across 17 sports. Great Britain won its first gold medal since 1908 and finished third overall with 23 medals; this would remain its best performance until 2012 when it achieved 65 medals and fourth place overall. The United States topped the medal table with 84 golds and 381 total medals; this would remain its best performance until 2008 when it achieved 110 golds and 363 total medals.
